Monday's ramming incident in the West Philippine Sea has had a significant impact on the lives of the fishermen involved.
Michael An, a crew member of Filipino Fishing Boat Dearyn and one of the 11 survivors, expressed deep concern.
"Pag yung nananakbo po kami at may barko po, kami po yung umiiwas, pero pag sa gabi naman po nakatali kami sa payaw halos 12 hours po kaming may ilaw," An said. He added that once they complete the Maritime Casualty Investigation report, they will and submit it to the Department of Foreign Affairs for diplomatic actions.
